DEAR Bobs Don't let anybody know
you have this letter. 1 am writing
it under cover, will mall It surrep
titiously, and trust to luck that the
mail car on the train that carries it to
you will not be robbed. For if ever the
secret I am about, In trusting: confi
dence, to bury In your heart should out,
I'd be ruined, old friend. I'd be ruined!
Little Mary Leslie, my leading wom
an, and I having been engaged for
about-three months, I went to her one
day and. out of the fullness of my
heart, told her Just what I thought of
long engagements, and on bended knee
figuratively speaking, for I only pull
that stuff when being photographed
begged her to end it all the weary
days of waiting, I mean and marry
me at once. To which she agreed af
ter that period of hesitation and fran
tic manufacturing of excuses which 1
understand every woman has to go
through before she says a final "yes"
to a demand of this sort. (You see,
Bobs, all I didn't know about women
before, I've been learning and 1 still
feel that so long as the world shall
last I'll be constantly finding out some,
thing new about the eternal, provoca
tive, adorable and entirely necessary
feminine.) Anyhow, she said yes.
Then I conceived what I thought was
a bright idea. ' I'd surprise Finny and
the crowd. I'd Invite them to a big
doings they'd Just think it an ordi
nary party and when they got there,
after a few sensational stunts Mary and
I would get married. I'd drop a hint
to the papers so that there would be
reporters there. Next morning we'd
have a writeup which would be some
advertisement, and everybody would be
happy. I told Mary and she told me
I was some little publicity howler. We
put our heads together then and got
busy.
It was going to be a regular party. I
made up my mind to blow myself for
fair. Before two days were over ca
terers, florists, wine merchants and taxi
companies all knew me for a live one,
and seeing the amount of coin I ap
parently had to spend while I think
of it lend me $500, Bobs; pay it back
next month came singly and In groups
to ask me confidentially If I thought
there was any chance of their getting
In the "movies." To which question I
always replied:
"1 fear not at the present time. The
field is much overcrowded. We of the
profession who are successful have
only attained that success after years
of labor, suffering, hardship Ah. as
the sunflower told the violet. 'Better
Tar, be contented as you are' " and so
on. The fact that they left me know
ing deep down in their souls that the
only reaeon in the world why I ad
vised them thus was because I was
Jealous deterred me not in the
least.
And I procured some of the best vau
deville talent In the city to come and
perform before and after the ceremony.

pull off anything?" I inquired with a
pitiful stab at injured dignity. y
.They replied that what did it matter,
and I should worry who told them, but
the fact remained they were wise, and
that I'd better come across with an
explanation, then, there and now. See
ing there was nothing else to do, I did.
I bared my soul. Told everything.
Then I waited.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence. Then
Bang! Crash! Grr-rr-rr-rr! You'd
have thought that they, had Just so
much time In which to tell me every
thing in the world they wished to say.
and, consequently. In order to- leave
nothing unsaid, they must do it at once
and together. But finally Bostwick got
tired and left Finny speaking as fol
lows: "You poor, benighted simp, don't you
know you are a hero and that 90 per
cent of your popularity lies in the fact
that you're known to be a blooming
bachelor? And now you go and pull a
stunt like this! You couldn't go and
get married quietly O no! You Just
had to hire a hundred little old brass
bands to come along and queer the act,
and Just at this time when the serial's
going big and the exhibitors are be
ginning to think that your picture is
an oruament in the lobby. Carney, 1
suspected when I hired you that there
was something missing. Now I know
it! But your friends will come to your
rescue the party will not come off on
Saturday night"
Then and there I said a few things
proved myself a man, I'm sure, Bobs
for I told them both Just where they
could go. and hinted In no vague terms
that I had not the slightest wish to
detain them. We had it hot and heavy
for a while. At last, though, all of us
having relieved ourselves of the fire
and brimstone that was in us, we set
tled down and talked the matter over
calmly. They said they were for me.
I said I was for them or had been.
Then they convinced me that for the
good of all of us, the party must not
happen thai is, the wedding part. Go
ahead and we'd all have a good time,
but marriage if such a thing must be
must take place before or after the
big doings and In solitude, relieved
only by the presence""of a minister and
t ie required two witnesses, said two of
which would be Mr. Bostwick and his
friend. Mr. Finny.
Well we had the party. It was
some party.
Am I married? ,
Ha! Ha!
That's the secret.
going to be! EveryDody I let in on the
secret I swort to darkest secrecy. They
were not to tell on their lives. They
said they wouldn't. I told Mary she
mustn't tell either and I'm sure she
didn't. That is, not more than 15 or
80 bosom friends who swore to her they
wouldn't tell and. In turn, only told
15 or 20 bosom friends apiece of theirs.
But everything was going along
swimmingly. Mary confided that her
trousseau was almost completed would
be entirely in readiness by the fateful
night set for a Saturday so that
everybody could sleep next day and 1
felt sure there wasn't going to be a
hitch anywhere. I made up my mind
not to send out the invitations until
several days before the party you see,
I didn't want my little surprise to leak
out.
Well. Bobs, is, singing blithely, 1
entered the studio one morning, my
valet confronted me with the news that
Mr. Finny was in Mr.. Bostwlck's office
and that both of them had left urgent
mesages, adorned and punctuated with
expletives, that they desired to have
words with me the moment I came in.
My heart came right up in my mouth.
What the ??? Surely, nothing was
going to turn up at this time that
would !!!
"What did they look like?" I asked
the valet anxiously.
He raised his eyebrows: "Like they
had Just escaped, Mr. Carney was
crazy, knew they was crazy, and was
glad they was crazy. If I may offer a
word of advice, you had better "not
keep 'em waiting much longer, sir!"
With trembling fingers 1 unwrapped
a stick of gum and put it In my mouth.
It's great tor the nerves, Bobs. Beats
a drink all hollow in the morning. Then
I went down.
I have not the strength to reproduce
their greeting on paper. It was too
strenuous and wearing a thing. They
closed the door upon me and called me
singly and in duet every word they had
ver heard that meant the same thing
as "boob." aid then asked me what tne
blank I thought I was about to pull
off on the coming Saturday night?

Traveling on Stage Money.
THE fact that all is not money that
looks like money aroused the ire
of a conductor In New York the other
day.. James Morrison and a party of
Vitagraphers were in a hurry to get
home from a town up the Hudson River
where they had been working In "The
Wheels of Justice." Theodore Marston.
their director, being detained, Mr. Mor
rison volunteered to see that his fel
low players received their railroad
transportation, telling Mr. Marston he
would collect at the studio. The party
Just made the station in time to board
a waiting train. At the conductor's
demand for tickets Jimmie pulled out
a roll of bills and. peeling off the top
one, handed It to the waiting ticket
collector, who at once broke into vio
lent speech:
"Come! comet I want your fare. 1
haven't time for any of your fool
Jokes!"
Something was wrong, and looking
at the bundle of bills still in his hand.
Mr. Morrison found he had relied on
getting his party to New York on a roll
of stage money. T
A hurried search through his clothes
failed to disclose one piece of money
that would pass inspection, and an ap
peal to his fellow players found them
in a similar predicament, they having
forgotten to change their money from
street clothes to costume when prepar
ing for the Journey. As the conduc
tor's hand was reaching for the bell
rope Jimmie happened to think of his
watch, and with It as a guarantee of
the price of the tickets, the members
of the party were allowed to proceed
on their way.

RUTH ROLAND is with the Balboa
Company now. though for years
previous she was with Kalem. She's an
auburn-haired child of some 20-odd
years and violet eyes. She's five and
a half feet tall and weighs 122 pounds.
Is an American, born In Ban Francisco.
She tells you "right off the reel" that
she was named after the daughter of
President Cleveland. Up until the
death .of her mother, which sad event
occurred when she was 10 years old.
Miss Roland was on the "legitimate"
stage and played child parts. Some
years later, when "pictures" came Into
their own, she signed up with the Ka
lem Company and for four years was
known as "The Kalem Girl." Here she
appeared in various kinds of parts
but did her best work, the Kalem peo
ple thought, in rousii and tumble com
edies, farces, etc. Since coming to the
Balboa Company, however, she has
played only in straight drama and is
doing vurr vurr" well, so they do say.
Miss Roland is a lover of athletics, but
she can also sew trims most of her
own hats, and has a slew of them. Also
she can dance it was not so long ago
that che and Julian Eltinge won the
championship cup at the Vernon Ath
letic Club. A versatile young woman
yes? No, she is not married.
inal and official war topicals which
are published every week with the per
mission of the French military authori
ties can get them at 5 cents the meter
(over three feet).
Lillian Tucker, who played the role
of "Lady Una" In "Evidence." which
Edwin August has Just produced for
the F. Ray Comstock Company at
Whitestone, is now playing with
Charles Cnerry, in "The Mummy and
the Humming Bird."
The news of the death of William H.
West, which came suddenly at Glendale.
near Los Angeles, on Sunday. August
SO. will be received with deep regret,
by picturegoers as well as by the trade
at large. Mr. West was one of the vet
eran members of the Kalem Company.
William Herman West waa born in
Newport. R. L, about E5 years ago.
Following an appearance In "Pinafore."
he was for 10 years in opera. After
five years In repertoire in Brady com
panies, he was featured for two years
in "El Capltan." He played Foxy
Quiller in "The Highwayman" and the
Sheriff in "Robin Hood." One of his
most successful roles was as Sir Peter
Teazle in . "Lady Teazle." For four
years he was at the Tivoll Opera House
in San Francisco.
Mr. West went to Kalem nearly five
years ago. His ability as an all-around
actor early stamped him as one of th
best on the screen. His characteriza
tions of the high caste Chinaman or
the American Indian were marked by
keen understanding of national traits.
His last screen work will be seen in
the series entitled "The Mysteries of
the Grand Hotel."
Mr. West was one of the foremost
members of Glendale Lodge, B. P. O. E
retiring this Summer from the chair of
exalted ruler. He had seen the organ
ization grow In membership to 500 In
two and a half years from a beginning
of 27. He was a gentleman as well as
an actor of the old school and a splen
did type of each.
A number of thrilling battle scenes
are to be presented In the picturlza
tion of "Old Heidelberg." in which two
mythical countries partake. For these
scenes 600 men were engaged and 200
horses. Including the accessories, can
nons, smokepots. etc. $10,000 was the
actual cost of this one day's work.
Dorothy Gish Is featured, with Wal
lace Reld chief in her support.
Two great contrasts have been dis
covered in the Chicago studios of the
Selig Polyscope Company. Bessie Ey
ton has never in her life been behind
the footlights of a regular theater
stage, and Otis Harlan had never seen
.the inside of a moving picture studio
until he appeared in the Selig produc
tion of Charles Hoyt's "A Black Sheep."
In Washington. D. C. a few weeks
ago the leading vaudeville theater can
celed Victor Moore's contract because
"Chimmle Fadden," In picturlzation
with Mr. Moore as star, was at a
nearby photoplay theater and the man
agement said admirers of Mr. Moore
probably would prefer to see him in
the laughable farce, "Chimmle Fad
den." Mr. Moore thought the same
thing and last week closed a contract
for a term of years with the Lanky
Company, through Samuel Goldfish,
executive head of the firm.
Mr. Moore's next picture will be
-Chimmie Fadden Out West." to be
produced by Cecil B. DeMille.
. It is stipulated in Mr. Moore's con
tract that during his association with
the Lasky studios he will not appear
elsewhere than on the screen. His
salary is said to be about three times
what the legitimate stage has had to
offer Mr. Moore In the past.
Ethel Barrymore will be seen soon
again in pictures In a Rolfe-Metro pro
duction. She is to appear in an orig
inal play written by George Scarbor
ough, author of "The Lure" and other
well-known stage successes, written
especially to suit her talents. The
adaptation is now being made by Ed
win P. Carewe. who will also direct the
production.
While Miss Barrymore is working in
the Rolfo studio, William Faversham
will bo busily engaged In the same
room in a production of "One Million
Dollars." adapted from Arnold Fred
erick's novel of the same name by
George D. Proctor.
A little while longer, ana photoplay
patrons will see Marguerite Courtot.
the dainty little star, as the heroine
of "The Ventures of Marguerite," a
new series. This series will consist of
a number of one-act ' es and. like
the Hazards of Helen Railroad Series,
each of these episodes will be complete
in itself.
Donald Mackenzie announces the
cast for Richard Carle's "Mary's
Lamb" as. Richard Carle, the author;
Jessie Ralph. Marie Wayne, Lillian
Thatcher, James Renne. and W. J. Mc
Carthy. Mr. Mackenzie has Just started
work on the production.
Carlyle Blackwell. hero of a myriad
of photo dramas and one of the matinee
idols, has leased a beautiful home, near
Hollywood. Cal.. and declared himself a
fugitive from gayety. Mr. Blackwell
will, he says, simply enjoy the flowers,
trees and his friends from now on.

Carmen Phillips plays one of the
wives in "On Their Honeymoon." an
other Nestor comedy, featuring Eddie
Lyons and Lee Moran. and wears a
new-fashioned brocaded satin afternoon
gown which was most becoming to
dark-eyed, bright-looking Carmen. Both
Eddie and Lee are seen at their best in
this clever Christie comedy.
From London comes the news that
Een Webster, the actor of His Majesty's
Theater. London, has been starred again
in a dramatic production of the rinr.n.
don Company, entitled "In the Blood."
which will be available for the exhib
itor early in the Autumn. Another
film of note and outstanding character
is in course of preparation by Will
Barker, of Barker Motion Photography.

or "interest" film taken under the
auspices of the Metropolitan Water
Board of London, and deals in an in
structive manner with the ns of the
water supply of London. For future
reference a copy of the film is to be
pre.-. . by the Board.
The Oliver Morosco Photoplay Com
pany has secured the services of Dal
Clawson. the celebrated camera man,
to take entire charge of all camera
work in Morosco productions.
Dal Clawson's work in taking the
now famous "Hypocrites." "Captain
Courtesy" and other sensational fea
tures noted for particularly beautiful
photography put the biggest producers
In the country on his trail, and Oliver
Morosco had to outbid at one time or
another practicrlly the entire field.

PILM men in Los Angeles first
laughed and then wondered Just
whether It was funny or serious
when they heard that Mrs. Earl Rogers,
of that city, had proposed a new
scheme where scenarios and not films
would be censored. Mrs. Rogers is on
the Los Angeles censor board and her
husband is an attorney of that place.
Nothing fcas been done yet, but it is
understood that Mr. Rogers has the
draft for the new ordinance almost
complete. The innovation has some
what startled motion picture people,
but no one is apparently worried. The
effect of the proposed ordinance would
of course be entirely revolutionary to
any present method of censorship and
various cities are waiting to see what
Los Angeles will do.
